Stonehenge is wondorous only if one considers the primitive
construction methods of that time. By modern standards, it ain't much.
BTW, why did they leave the Egyptian Pyramids out? Were the original
Seven Wonders exempted from consideration?

I forgot to include the article I was referring to
Here it is
http://www.canada.com/victoriatimescolonist/news/story.html?id=cbab60cd-dfa8-4f59-a8ca-1f8ed0913261
BUT, if you search, you will find 'n' lists compiled by different
interest groups (engineers, archaeologists etc and different
countries, religions) all of which have differing lists of The Seven
I thought this was a pretty fair representation though as it was
developed as a result of a random international Poll

In Communist countries, all dissent was called fascism.
In Fascist Italy, all dissent was labelled Communist.
In a Politically Correct world, all dissent is called Racist or Hate.

Egypt¹s authorities have called the competition ³nonsense² . The pyramids
are ³living in the hearts of people around the globe, and don't need a vote
to be among the world wonders,² said the head of Egypt's Supreme Council of
Antiquities, Zahi Hawass. The pyramids have now been withdrawn.

What about that London city hall they showed yesterday. It looks like the
mothership for Jeff's blimp.
